2015 Webinar Series - The Science of SelectionsHave you ever wondered about the science that went into making the carrot you’re munching on so crunchy? Or making your chrysanthemum blooms really pop? The NAPB, in collaboration with the PBCC and PBGWorks, has developed an annual webinar series to showcase the broad range of plant species and plant breeding efforts being implemented. Plant breeding is the process through which new genetic variation is created and subsequently selected upon to develop new varieties of crops. Just as there are many different plants undergoing plant breeding efforts, there are equally as many techniques, methods, and technologies used within each crop. Whether you are a plant breeder, a technician in a breeding program, a graduate student, or someone interested in agriculture and plants, we hope you will find these presentations interesting and informative. To begin the registration process, click on the topic of interest in the title column and you will be directed to a new page. Here you will find more information pertaining to the webinar, including date and time, as well as the register now button. To register, click the register now button and you will be guided through the registration process. Each webinar requires a separate registration so make sure to register for each topic that interests you. |
